mediBac clearing®

Clearer skin starts now: bring the four contributing factors of acne under control.

The MediBac Clearing® system works to treat, clear and prevent adult acne while addressing the needs of adult skin. Most products and treatments for acne are designed for teenage skin, making them too harsh and irritating for adult acne sufferers. MediBac Clearing® controls acne without compromising skin’s integrity, which means skin is clearer and healthier.

how it works

Dermalogica’s MediBac Clearing® system is formulated specifically to treat adult acne. Each product, with its unique acne-fighting and clearing ingredients, is designed to be layered upon the skin to provide around-the-clock, maximum control of the main factors that contribute to acne.

I have combination skin, and have suffered from acne on my chin, nose, and forehead since my teens. I've been using this product on my t-zone every morning for about a year now, and it has truly improved my skin. It has helped reduce the blemishes I get to almost zero. It helps to control oily shine, and has improved the overall condition of my skin. It is very concentrated, so a tube lasts me for several months. I'm so glad I found this product!

I applied this for the first time and felt my skin and it felt amazing! It does a pretty good job of mattifying my skin, but it's not mousterizing enough to use alone after washing. I use active moist and blot it on my skin.

My Dermalogica technician recommended this product to me and I love it! I have super oily skin during the summer and this amazing product controls my shiny skin, reduces the size of my pores, and treats any potential acne hiding under the surface. This is definitely a must buy for anyone with oily skin!

If you've ever (and most of us have) been panicked by a "skintastrophe" on the day when you need to - have to look your best? Dermalogica Clearing Mattifier has saved me from disaster!

This amazing product is a "must have" for those of us who get the occasional breakout at the wrong time. It literally calms (dries out and mattifies) the eruption so that I can apply make-up and face the world with my head up high.

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. The dimethicone in this product is excellent to prevent dryness that can be common with some acne products. It also mattes out the skin. The Salicylic Acid will prevent breakouts. Finally, this product will shrink the size of the pore by 30% in 6 weeks.

Thank you for your question. Our ingredients are lab derived or come from raw plant materials. We are Leaping Bunny Certified and have no animal ingredients.

Kind Regards,The Dermalogica Team

Q:

How much oil control ?: I've been using this for a couple of days and I find it's good for absorbing Oil, however shortly after lunch my face is greasy again. Should I reapply the product or just leave it ?
